Ethan Aliens Pluck.

While Ethan Allen was prisoner on
his passage to England closely confined
to his cabin he discovered that pin or
! wire that fastened one Of his handouts
was broken. Extricating the pieces with
his teeth he was enabled TO loosen the
bolt and set one hand at liberty, by the
| aid Of which and his teeth he soon had
( both at liberty, and he was not long in
liberating his feet But fearing dis
covery might lead to worse treatment he
replaced his irons, bolts and pins before
the arrival OF his keeper 1t soon
/ became recreation for the
general to take oil and put on his irons
at pleasure. One day the captain wish
ing to afford the crew some merrimcnt
ordered that Allen be brought on deck.
Hoping to brighten MIN the captain said
'Ihere is probability that the ship
will founder; if so what will become of
us, especially you, Mr.. Allen, a rebel
against the kingI' why, SAID Alien,
chat would be very much like orr din
ner hour" why SOP said the captain,
not rejecting that Allen was allowed to
come on deck only when the captain
went down into his cabin to dine.
"Well, you see. answered Allen, 'Td
be on my way mp just as, you would
be going below This answer did not
please the captain and he began regu-
lar trade OF abuse against the Ameri-
can people In a short time said the
captain, ''ali the rebels will be in the
same situation az yourself This was
too much for Alien, and, raising his
hands to his teeth he soon snapped the
bolts and pins, took off his irons and
threw them overheard, seized the panic
stricken captain by the collar and threw
him headlong upon the deck. Then
turning to the affrighted crew he ex-
claimed in voice Of thunder, az | am
insulted again during the voyage, III
sink the ship and swim ashore" This
exploit had such an effect on the captain
and crew that no further insult was
offered to the general during the voyage.

SAVANNAH, GA SATURDAY. OCTOBER l. 1881.

my lord, since | cannot persuade you
to give up this plan of yours, will you
at least consent to come with me to the
chapel, that we may pray together be-
fore you goI'
The duke consented, and he and the
chaplain knelt together in prayar. Then
the mercy-loying Christian said TO the
revengeful warrior:
"Will YOU repeat after me, sentence
by sentence, the prayer that our Lord
Jesus Christ Himself taught His disci-
ples?'
81 will do it, replied the duke
The chaplain said sentence, and the
duke repeated it, till he came to the pc
tition, Forgive us our trespasscs as we
forgive them that trespass against us "
Then the duke was silent.
'My lord duke, you are SILENT said
the chaplain. "Wil you continue to
repeat the words after me, If you dare
pray them? Forgive us our trespasscs
as we forgive them that trespass against
us. ,"
4 cannot" replied the duke.
"WeH," said the chaplain, "you
must either give up your revenge or give
up saying this prayer, for to ask God to
pardon You as you pardon others, is to
ask Him to take vengeance on you for
all your sins. Go now, my lord, and
meet your victim. Cod will meet you
at the judgment day"
"No," said the duke, 81 viii finish

Learning the Lords PRAYER.

In the Middle Ages. when the great
lords and knights were always at war
with one another, one of them resolved
to revenge himself on neighbor who
had offended him. 1t Glanced that, on
the very evening when he made this
resolution, he heard that his enemy w.s
to pass near hig castle, in company with
only a few men. 1t was good oppor-
tunity to take his revenge, and he deter
mined not 10 lett pass. He spoke Of
this plan in the presence # his chaplain,
who tried in vain to persuade him TO
give it up.
At length seeing that all MS words
had no effect, he said

Building Monuments.

Through life we build our monuments
vi honor, aud perhaps, of fame;
The little and the great events
Are blocks of glory or OF shame.
The modest, humble, and obscure.
Living unnoticed and unknown,
May raise shaft that will endure
Longer than pyramids OF stone
The calven statue turns to dust,
And marble obelisl<s decay,
But deeds of pity faith and trust
No storms of fate can sweep auav
Their base stands on the rock of right;
Their apex reaches to the skies:
They grow with the increasing light
OF all the encircling centuries.
Our building must be good or bad;
In words we speak, in deeds we do:
On sand or granite must be laid
The shaft that shows us false or true
How do we build-what can we show
For hours, and days, and years of toll!
Is the foundation firm below!
Isit on rock or sandy soil!
The hand that lifts the fallen up,
That heals heart or binds wound,
That gives the needed crust and cup,
Is building upon solid ground.
Is there a block of stainless white
Within the monumental wall
On which the sculptured skill can write:
He builded we'd, so should we alI!n

POLISHING A FLOOR.
BY CALVIN.


My wife and |, with our three off
spring, took up our abode for the sum
mer in pretty subur ban cottage.
The arrangement with our landlord
stipulated that he should not be called
upon to make any alterations or repairs.
Our means are limited within very
narrow limits so like the two reasonable
souls that we are, we determined to
/ economic III all reasonable ways, but one
F.! little extravaganza Cherry, my wife, insist
ed upon; that our dining room floor
should be polished, and she was to be
her own maid of all work andwished as
few carpets as possible to care for.
Cherry is willing, ambitious, brave
hearted creature, but lacking in muscular
force. So when she proposed to shellac
and polish the floor to save the expense
of hiring professional, l at once put
my manly foot down with masculine en-
phasis on the subject
Like the generous, self-sacrificing soul
that | am known to be, | declared I
would bear upon my broad shoulders the
responsibility of polishing the floor
Cherry made gentle demurrer, but
finally yielded the point.
The next morning began operations,
rising with the sun in the enthusiasm
born of inexperience. 1t proved not
difficult to apply the staining, but when
began to polish inch by inch, with the
thermometer in a raging fever of one
hundred degrees, my heart was dis
dismayed, for the room measures sixteen
by sixteen, and TO crawl over that
amount of territory on Bonded knees
was not pleasant to contemplate.
Filled with sad reflections on the de-
privations poverty entails and with the
sweat of honest toll tricklins in tiny
rivulets from my noble brow, / sat down
to rest, and, picking up paper my
eyes CHANGED to see an article in the do
nestle column, headed Hints for Anna
teurs in Polishing Floors" Immediately
my attention was fixed upon this article.
The writer assured her readers with the
assurance of experience that the work Of
polishing could be greatly facilitated if
the operator would fasten to the buttons
of his or her feet pair of stiff scrubbing
brushes. and thus glide over the surface
desired to be polished After a little
practice the person would become quite
adept in the skating like motion required
and brilliant polish would result, with
out firing the back or bruising the
knees. The plan recommended itself to
me on the grounds of originality and
brilliancy of conception, and / deter
mined to test its feasibility.
Accordingly HE'D me forth in search
of brushes. had long and weary
march ere found brushes equal 10 the
area of my pedal extremeties, for though
there NAV be differences Of opinion as to
the graceful formation of those mem
bers, no one can deny that they are
built upon a noble design with no stint
Of material.

VALPARAISO.
Things Noted by an American in
a Gillian City.
The Poems, the Potce1 Militia
and Fire Service.

4 correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press says in letter from Valparaiso
| watch from my consulate windows the
poems (laborcrs), some carrying boxes
and bales which would stagger many Of
our porters, some riding on the NEAR
horse of team Of three, harnessed
abreast, the driver or rider with hare
legs and feet, but wearing spur
strapped to his left foot, which he in
dnstriously plies, Indeed, the animals
(the quadrupeds) seem accustomed to
the whip and spur, one Of which is al
most every moment administered and to
care LITTLE about them the riders never
speak to their beasts The police and
other mounted men ride steadily and APP
parently securely, but not in the Ameri-
can or English style. All persons here
are erect and alert. That il especially
noticeable among the young, even chill
dren, who are robust and ''weli set up.
The hands and feet OF both sexes are re-
markably small and neat, even those Of
the laborers and mechanics being deli
cate and we'll formed.
The militia and fire services are eff
GENTLY discharged by young men, many
of good position, who are well drilled.
The fire service excuses from jury duty,
as it did with us before our paid depart
ment The orders of all kinds to the
''bombercs' (pumpers) are given By the
bugIe exclusively.
In speaking Of fires, am reminded Of
a curious regulation Of law or custom Of
the police. When fire breaks out iii
shop or dwelling, the owner on occupant
is promptly arrested, his guilt as an in
cendiary being presumed, and he is held
for examination, or, in some favorable
cases, held to bail, until lie can explain
the circumstances or prove how it was
that he did not fire his own house or
tenement The presumption Of limo
cence obtaining at the common law does
not seem, at least in such cases. 10 exist
here, that presumption being reserved
and the guilty act assumed.
Speaking Of local affairs, saw some
days ago a considerable body Of the msl-
nicipaI police in full blue uniform, carry
ing rifles with fixed bayonets, white
gloyed, helmeted and with drum or
two marching in the centre OF the city.
On inquiring the reason for their parade,
l was informed that it was for The pur-
pose Of making public governmental
decree. This was the rcappointment for
three years of the present efficient .iu-
tendente, or governor Of this province.
The decree for such purpose is read aloud
by the officer in command Of the de-
tachment at several principal points ID
the city, and then published in the pa
pers. think it good plan.
| want to tell the Detroit people how
to secure their saddle horses on dis
mounting Get short strap with
double buckles aud strap the fore feet Of
the animal together just above the pas-
tern. So they do here, where they ride
great deal, and then leave the horse
standing for any time in the public
street without tieing.
